Braided 22.2 karat gold ... i'm no expert
The "925" probably refers to the purity: 925/1000 gold.
The "925 Italy" marking on your necklace indicates sterling silver composition. If it is a yellow color, then it is vermeil - gold plated silver.Visit the links below to learn more about gold and silver markings.
I'm looking for the answer to this myself. Is it real if it just says Italy? The piece I have looks to be gold and silver. Could this be why?
The value of gold changes regularly. To find out how much a necklace is currently worth take it to a pawn shop or jeweler for appraisal.
The value of an 18k gold plated necklaces worth would depend on the current buy back price and the market in your area. Naturally, the price for a necklace that is gold plated will be less than a necklace that is solid gold.
Sounds like you have a 14 caret white gold necklace made in Italy. Yes, it is gold and is fine jewelry not costume or play. It is real. When you see 14K on something that means it is good and not junk.
The 18k 756 is the hallmark for 18 carat gold although it should have an assay mark with it.
